08-22-2025, 11:36 AM #1My computer has stopped unexpectedly while under stress. I’m not sure what the real issue is, but I think the power supply unit might be the culprit. If you know more about the problem, please let me know. Thanks ahead!

08-29-2025, 04:00 PM #3The message simply indicates your PC ended without a full shutdown. Possible reasons range from normal restarts to issues with power supply units. If you increase system demand, the PSU becomes more likely to fail, though other parts might be involved. Can you consistently reproduce this situation? Running isolated stress tests on CPU or GPU separately helps determine if shutdowns occur independently. Check event logs for entries prior to the restart—especially any warnings about overcurrent protection on your PSU. A complete hardware inventory would be useful. RTX 3000 series cards are known to trigger overcurrent protection even with high-quality components.
Hardware specifications include an RTX 3070, Ryzen 5600x processor, and 16 GB RAM at 3600 MHz. There are no significant "critical" entries in the event viewer, but the issue occurs intermittently while playing Warframe for around 20 minutes. It doesn’t happen during non-game sessions. You can try isolating CPU and GPU to identify which component is causing the problem.
AMD Processor Power Management driver is a module connected to power management. This issue and Error ID 41 may stem from various causes. Let's avoid concentrating too much on the PSU just yet. As @adm0n suggested, let's attempt to force a crash first. Running a memory test and a CPU stress test such as Prime95 could assist in identifying the problem. Including additional memory dumps would be helpful.
You can enhance @Yua's response by using Prime95 to push stress on your CPU and Furmark for your GPU. Keep in mind these tests aren't meant for real-world scenarios, so transient spikes from the GPU are unlikely. If the problem doesn’t appear right away after launching a game, it becomes more challenging to diagnose. Knowing the specific PSU model would also be helpful.

As @Yua mentioned: If your PC stops functioning in a way that lets a new one form, you should have a smaller file at C:\Windows\Minidump or a larger one named Memory.dmp. The smaller version would be useful. However, if it's a power or CPU-related problem, the PC might shut down before these files can be created.

09-12-2025, 12:39 PM #10You encountered an error message. If everything functions correctly, this power supply should operate without problems. Running the test again doesn’t seem to cause crashes. Was there a warning or new alert displayed in the Event Viewer?
